A lawyer might give you the room to distance yourself by handling details.


I would have finessed the truth about being an alcoholic since some rules to do not apply to people with bipolar and lay people/ lazy thinkers do not understand the complexity.
Lots of people drink as part of their bipolar -- being bipolar is something that we have absolutely no control over so we neither do we have complete control over the drinking either

It my case, the fact that I have bipolar was set generations ago (via the genetic component) and nothing I can alter.

And the only reason I have not run afoul of the law is
1) great deal of luck
2) great deal of prayer
3) staying home a lot so as not to be any in situation (I am risk averse and know that even a rare event can result in
a life altering legal or other dire circumstance.)
